He said the privatisation of the sector had yet to show any improvement in the quality of service, saying it was difficult to determine whether it was done in public interest or with profit motive.[size=14pt] No, the private companies who bought it like to donate money that's all . Dis man no go kill pesson with laugh. Go school you no gree [/size] |

If only he will seat down and stop junketing, he can. Where there is the will there is always the way. I wish this guy PMB do listen to Bob Marley Music and put it into practice. |

I think the owners of NL should consider closing the comment section of the forum because people have turned it to a platform for silly and unguarded comments. Its true that we must air our views on topical issues, but the abuse of freedom of speech has become so proliferated such that some people only subscribe to the platform only to abuse and rain insults on people who hold contrary opinions from theirs. If it's not APC vs PDP, it'll be Buhari vs Jonathan, Wike vs Amechi, Lai Mohammed vs Information etc. It's annoying how almost every Tom, Dick and Harry have turned this forum to a beehive of abuse and insults. It's true that sometimes we disagree to agree but that must be done with some sense of decorum. |

In other words, your Government embarked on a project which you did not do any extensive research on. Is it not wrong for Government to gamble with people's future. How about finding out how other countries do it, finding possible difficulties that may arise and how to overcome them?. No tangible road map and plan B In case things go otherwise? And someone calls himself the minister of power? collecting salaries and allowances every month?? Chia!! Nigerian!! |

Now...it is so bad that we cannot even transmit all the power we generate. 4.In 1997....someone came up with a figure of N5trillion to put NEPA back on its feet.Ya think govt has N5 trillion just for light? 5.Generation is no better Right now...we have just 5000mw maximum. We need it to be at least 12000MW to have light 24/7....Provided there are no new connections to the national grid. 6.Speaking of the national grid....since the 1980's...governments have been connecting people to the grid in the name of political patronage...sans planning. Of course..the grid is overloaded. 7> That is why in 2014...privatization. If it worked for the GSM ....it might work for Power. |

the real ineffectual buffoon. whose body language was thought to be the reason for improved power supply. its time to show case your prowess the honey period is over. the gains of the last administration has been frittered away . inconclusive elections every now and then. |

It is now imminent that indeed, HATERS GONNA HATE. Buhari drink water, people get head ache Buhari stand up, people get headache Buhari do this, they complain Buhari doesn't do this, they complain. Na WA o. To all those calling President Buhari a dullard, Welldone o. I don see una, with all your intelligence, who you he[l]p? If you were as intelligent as you want us to believe, you would have seen this as an OPPORTUNITY to showcase your talents. Headline reads that the President is "in a dilemma". Instead of getting the message, you begin to insult. Intelligent people gather up like minds, discuss on roundtables, get possible working solutions, begin to send news across to the Presidency that you are a small group of intelligent minds with workable solutions to xyz problems... Make yourself heard; use social media. Tweet and Retweet until you are called to rub minds. You'll be paid for your intelligence. Not just hiding behind the anonymity of your Nairaland handle and reigning insults on your president like if you were in his shoes, you'll solve America's problems. If you must criticise, criticise constructively. Lastly, for all its worth, our hatred for Buhari won't make him poorer than the richest middle class man, just like our hatred for GEJ never made him poorer than the poorest Governor. It just doesn't change NOTHING. CHEERS. |

obailala:You are the dumbest guy on NL..... "The president said his administration must do everything necessary to increase power generation and distribution from its present status of about 1,500 to 3,500 megawatts with additional 2000 before the end of the year as a way of halting the ripple effect effects on the economy." Now tell us the amount of megawatts Buhari inherited from Jonathan |

acaolly1:That economy was destroyed over 16 years partly because of the addiction of Obasanjo and Jonathan to blind privatization, right? What people want is for Buhari to be philosophically consistent. For instance, you can`t give the Power portfolio to Fashola only to say later that you are not sure of privatization, who is he deceiving? |
| Re: Buhari: I'm In Dilemma Over Power Privatisation by Nobody: 5:59pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
Goke7:Reversing it may not be easy 1.The companies will take the Govt to court to reclaim moneys invested in the business...which have now been lost thanks to the reversal. And the courts will award heavy damages. After all....govt signed a contract...and if you break contracts, judges will tend to throw the book at you. (Democracy, isn't it grand )2.At the moment...the amount of cash needed to fix power in Nigeria is enormous. We need investments of $1billion at least annually just to fix things.Government....does not have the cash....even if you deal with corruption...you still have low oil prices (Which Nigeria needs at $123 per barrel just to balance the books.). |

Islie:How many full time no nonsense army generals have tried to fix the power sector without success?. My hope was OBJ but he failed woefully despite sacrificing his power minister. PMB is the 2nd military to civillian president,I wish you luck but please give maximum security protection to your power minister because you will soon find out the powers behind 'There Must Not Be Light In Nigeria' are more than those in the oil and gas sector. |

Wait o. Does this General not know that private companies have their pockets to fill and public interest has no relevance whatsoever? To make that massive profit, they have to run the business and innovate far better than lazy civil servants running govt owned companies like NEPA was, NIPOST or NPA. Through much improved service delivery & quality, consumers will consume much more, and the private company rakes in huge profits. At best, the govt can try to reduce ripping off the citizens by private sector by setting consumer protection rules. Fair but not crippling or overly intrusive/anti-business. ![]() |

rapistbuhari:Sorry...this is not the truth. This is what he said... https://www.nairaland.com/3002768/buhari-im-dilemma-over-power#43974680 He also disclosed that his administration had, in its remaining three, given itself the target of 10,000 megawatts "distributable power", adding that in 2016 alone, the government intended to add 2,000 megawatts to the national grid. Lying is not good. Ministry of Power meanwhile...puts power generated now...at...3981 on 13/3/16...with a peak of 5021 on 2/2/16. |
